Hamilton blasts Ferrari after Monza clash as Leclerc crashes and race is red‑flagged

On the first lap of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Lewis Hamilton was forced onto the gravel after contact with Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc, dropping to sixth place. The race stewards took no further action. On the second lap, Leclerc lost grip exiting Parabolica, spun into the tyre barrier and retired, prompting a safety‑car deployment and then a red flag while the barrier was repaired. Leclerc walked away and was taken to the circuit’s medical centre for a routine examination. After the stoppage, George Russell moved into the lead.
